Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The economic geography of West Africa began a slow, long-term shift away from the interior and toward the coast. As European powers arrived on the West African coast in the 15th century, they established trade posts and ports along the coast. This led to the development of coastal cities and the growth of trade between West Africa and Europe, which in turn caused a shift in the economic center of the region from the interior to the coast.
